Hi Stuart, Joseph,

thanks for the very useful pointers.
I certainly would be in favour of a clear standard beyond FAPI (there
obviously is demand for something). Does it make sense to open an issue
in Connect instead?

Searching for refresh_token_expires_in also gave me a few hits for OPs
returning (additionally) a refresh_token_expires_at parameter.
But in any case it seems the banking use ID token claims, while the
social providers use a response parameter and usually support (if
anything) refresh_token_expires_in.
